Trading and Dating

seems like a distinction needs to be made between finding a long term companion and getting laid.

Ok so either A) washington heights is one hell of a statistical anomaly or B) you all have the same daddy.

LOL, I never meant to directly point it at you or anyone, just refreshing a very popular remark. Bottom line, materialism rarely, if ever, brings happiness, it's just a conditioned response. So dealing with materialistic females can't have much of a different outcome. After all, it's like getting a long term high end escort, except that you have to deal with their drama.

Apparently the term in the NBA and NFL arena is professional girlfriend.

Very good points.

turn 'em and burn, getting laid is LT for a scalper.

on a serious note, anyone (male or female) that has a mate that supports their trading, particularly on bad days is very lucky indeed.

I think most trader feels lonely inside.

I am sure a BMW would help, and escorts would keep us sane.

But preception is reality, rite?

Whenever people asked me what I do for a living I just say, I work for myself or I work at home, then I stopped.

Quote from spmtravels:

As the wife of a trader and also a trader myself I think I have a unique perspective on this subject.

You need to find a person who will support your dreams and ambitions. That means you need to find someone who will work with you as a partner.

The biggest thing you can do early in the relationship is put it on the line that you donât want a family until you can support them. If she doesnât like that, then she is not the one for you.

Iâm not saying this to be mean. I think you need to make sure you know what is most important to your life. If you can find someone to share that vision, then you are a lucky man. If you canât, then you need to find a way to make peace with that decision.

I met WAY TOO MANY women who are married to guys who decided to trade. The problem is they werenât ready to make the commitment to their husbandâs goal. These women were resentful of the support they had to give their spouse financially. Trust me, itâs not a pretty picture.

If you see money or the things you buy with money as your life objective, youÂ´ll never have enough, and therefore youÂ´ll always be frustrated. Is like chasing a rainbow.

Trading and Dating

Both Trading and Dating are definitely concerned with market action.
Whether strategies useful in Trading would extend to Dating, I dunno.
